Luke Kelly (17 November 1940 – 30 January 1984) was an Irish singer, folk musician and actor from Dublin, Ireland, notable as a founding member of the band The Dubliners. The Irish Post regards Kelly as one of Ireland's greatest folk singers and "important cultural icons."
Early life
Luke Kelly was born into a working-class family in Lattimore Cottages, 1 Sheriff Street, a quarter of a mile from Dublin's main thoroughfare, O'Connell Street. His grandmother, who was a MacDonald from Scotland, lived with the family until her death in 1953. His father worked all his life in Jacob's biscuit factory and enjoyed playing football. Both Luke and his brother Paddy played club Gaelic football and soccer as children.
Luke left school at thirteen and after four years of odd-jobbing, he went to England in 1958. Working at steel fixing with his brother Paddy on a building site in Wolverhampton, he was sacked after asking for more money . He worked odd jobs from oil barrel cleaning to vacuum salesman.
Joe Hill, born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund in Gävle, Sweden, and also known as Joseph Hillström (October 7, 1879 – November 19, 1915) was a Swedish-Americanlabor activist, songwriter, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, familiarly called the "Wobblies"). A native Swedish speaker, he learned English during the early 1900s, while working various jobs from New York to San Francisco. Hill, an immigrant worker frequently facing unemployment and underemployment, became a popular songwriter and cartoonist for the radical union. His most famous songs include "The Preacher and the Slave" (in which he coined the phrase "pie in the sky"), "The Tramp", "There is Power in a Union", "The Rebel Girl", and "Casey Jones—the Union Scab", which express the harsh and combative life of itinerant workers, and call for workers to organize their efforts to improve working conditions.
In 1914, John G. Morrison, a Salt Lake City area grocer and former policeman, and his son were shot and killed by two men. The same evening, Hill arrived at a doctor's office with a gunshot wound, and briefly mentioned a fight over a woman. Yet Hill refused to explain further, even after he was accused of the grocery store murders on the basis of his injury. Hill was convicted of the murders in a controversial trial. Following an unsuccessful appeal, political debates, and international calls for clemency from high-profile figures and workers' organizations, Hill was executed in November 1915. After his death, he was memorialized by several folk songs. His life and death have inspired books and poetry.
Hill is the second child of authors Stephen and Tabitha (Spruce) King. He was born in Hermon, Maine, and grew up in Bangor, Maine. His younger brother Owen is also a writer.
At age 9, Hill appeared in the 1982 film Creepshow, directed by George A. Romero, which co-starred and was written by his father.
Career
Hill chose to use an abbreviated form of his given name (a reference to executed labor leader Joe Hill, for whom he was named) in 1997, out of a desire to succeed based solely on his own merits rather than as the son of Stephen King. After achieving a degree of independent success, Hill publicly confirmed his identity in 2007 after an article the previous year in Variety broke his cover (although online speculation about Hill's family background had been appearing since 2005).
The Rocky Road To Dublin - Luke Kelly & The Dubliners
Travastia Club (Finland) - 1976
Luke Kelly performs The Rocky Road To Dublin, an Irish 19th century song with its origins in County Galway. The tune is a slip jig and without doubt one of the more difficult Irish songs to sing. Luke Kelly always pulled it off, even in this performance where he mistakenly sings a verse twice, as if the song isn't difficult enough to sing without an additional verse. His recovery is impeccable!

Raglan Road - Luke Kelly
The Humours Of Donnybrook (Ireland) - 1978
Luke Kelly sings Patrick Kavanagh's Raglan Road accompanied by this friend Al O'Donnell. The song was given to Luke in the Bailey Pub, Dublin in 1966 when Patrick Kavanagh asked Luke to sing my sang, to which Luke enquired, ' and what song is that Mr Kavanagh?'
Over the years the song has been covered by Ed Sheeran, Van Morrison, Sinéad O'Connor, Mark Knopfler and Roger Daltrey, to name just a few but most agree that Luke’s version is the definitive.

Lyrics:
I must away now, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most
And when he came to his true love's dwelling
He knelt down gently upon a stone
And through her window he's whispered lowly
Is my true love within at home?
Wake up, wake up love, it is thine own true lover
Wake up, wake up love, and let me in
For I am tired love and oh, so weary
And more than near drenched to the skin
She's raised her off her down soft pillow
She's raised her up and she's let him in
And they were locked in each others arms
Until that long night was past and gone
And when that long night was past and over
And when the small clouds beg...

Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he,

"In Salt Lake, Joe," by god says I,
Him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."
"The Copper Bosses shot you Joe,
they killed you Joe" says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Standing there as big as life
Smiling with his eyes.
Joe Says, "What they forgot to kill"
went on to organize,

Do your duty for the cause of workers liberty
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night Alive as you and me Says I, 'But Joe, you're ten years dead' 'I never died', says he 'I never died', says he. In Salt Lake, Joe, says I Him standing by my side 'They framed you on a murder charge' Says Joe, 'I never died' Says Joe, 'I never died.' The copper bosses they shot you, Joe, They filled you full of lead 'Takes more than guns to kill a man' Says Joe, 'And I ain't dead' Says Joe, 'And I ain't dead.' And standing there as big as life And smiling with his eyes Says Joe, 'What they forgot to kill' 'Went on to organize' 'Went on to organize.' Joe Hill ain't dead, he says to me Joe Hill ain't never died Where working man are out on strike Joe Hill is at their side Joe Hill is at their side. In San Diego up to Maine In every mine and mill Where working men defend their rights It's there you'll find Joe Hill It's there you'll find Joe Hill. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night Alive as you and me Says I, But Joe, you're ten years dead I never died, says he
